It’s finally landed in Canada! I took delivery yesterday and am really enjoying it so far. Lots of mods to come.

Dw bud, same boat here, in Toronto and my dealer hasn't even said when it will be here or if I'll get one. People in Ontario and even out east already have VIN#s, ridiculous

Yesterday, I didn't mentioned that I fitted 5mm spacers for the front fork, shorter linkage (dog) bones and 90 N/mm shock spring. Visually the bike looks much better, the clearance is bigger. I think the stiffer spring makes the bike safer and still comfortable for me. It's totally different feeling of the bike. I'm not an expert but I think  90 N/mm spring still keeps the balance between  rear and front of the bike (with OEM springs in fork).

Could you tell whether the spacers made a dramatic improvement to the static sag and feel to the front? Did you buy them or make them?

It's hard to say. I tested the new mods only for about an hour. All three things  were changed at once. I measured the front static sag today and there is no change, it's about 40 mm. The reason for that could be the dog bones rise the rear of the bike for about 25mm, in addition stiffer spring, so the balance of the bike have changed. To make the front higher I lowed front fork legs by about 4-5 mm. Somebody made the spacers for me. For sure no dramatic improvement.

^ It is natural that the younger sister is far sexier and goes way better too.

Don't ever get rid of that that great piece of history, have you had it from new?

And it only took you 32 years to work out that the blue version is faster, better and more reliable than the white and red ones?

Some say black is not a colour....

I do like the looks of this as well... It was close for me between this and the blue one.. But blue with black SM rims makes me smile

Well I am actually interested in selling it again... still got an XT600E in the shed.

If I had it from new, I would have bought it when I was aged 3 months

It surprised me  what the guy on BMW R100GS was doing on his bike.  

Those bikes are more than capable, i got one to:

[Gezgin Endurocu]

After some modification we are still beautiful...I am thinking hyperpro -35mm lowering front and rear fork kit...what do you think? İs it can be negative like a linkage lowering or it can be good after lowering with hyperpro...? I think touaretech also same...
